ESMT Berlin's Master's in Global Management (MGM) is an innovative programme that prepares you to lead in the world of tomorrow. This century presents unprecedented challenges, and the MGM will equip you to live up to these situations. You will gain an understanding of how businesses shape the global economy and how managers and strategy consultants can contribute to making a positive impact.
Students will complete multiple projects and internships with global companies before graduation, and some of this work should be done abroad. Balanced with soft skills and career reflection in the classroom, the programme will help students become individuals who are more aware and who can make a difference in their organisations. Examples of corporations who provided internships to our students include Allianz, Amazon, Audi, Bosch, Deutsche Bank, DHL, E.ON, McKinsey, Porsche, and Siemens.
The programme has the following key focus areas:
- Global Immersion: Become a truly global business leader through options like internships, an academic term abroad, and take advantage of language training as integral part of the curriculum.
- Finance Certificate: As part of your elective course choice, you can opt to complete five advanced courses in Finance subjects with a focus on global investment strategies.
- Portfolio Management Programme: The Portfolio Management Programme (PMP) is an optional two-year elective in which selected students actively manage a real-money portfolio of one million EUR per group with a total portfolio value of three million EUR. The concept of the PMP enables participants to combine theory and practice to develop real trading strategies on the open market.
- Social Impact Project: A five-week project during the second year of your studies, it offers students the opportunity to serve as an economic or management consultant for an organisation with specific social impact objectives, such as a non-profit organisation, a CSR department, a social entrepreneurship venture, or a social impact project of a for-profit organisation.
The ESMT MGM programme uses an interdisciplinary approach. Students apply analytical models to understand the global economy, product development, and new techniques in technology management within global companies. Students planning to pursue a further academic career also have unique access to research practices and projects with ESMT's faculty.
